I have just received an offer of residency to MacDowell, a magical place where I will write uninterrupted for two weeks this summer. I’m thrilled beyond belief!
I found out the other day that I’ve been waitlisted to attend the incredible MacDowell residency program. This place, in a small town in New Hampshire, is legendary, and just to be on the waitlist is a joy and honor. I hope to have good news in the coming months that I will be able to attend.
I am very excited to share that I have just begun offering editorial feedback on your flash! Starting in November and through January, I’ll be taking on clients! Take a look at my Workshops & Readings page for details about rates and response time. Message me in the Contact form with any questions!

I am so happy to serve as judge for Fatal Flaw Literary Magazine’s first annual flash fiction contest! Subs open on January 6 and close February 6. Here is what we’re looking for:
The fatal flaw is a concept that pervades storytelling, literary criticism, and popular culture – from Greek tragedies to the television series we binge. Whether art imitates life or vice versa, the notion of a fatal flaw creeps into our lives and the societies we live in, too. Will my everyday vices bring about my ruin? Do I lose because I’m too nice? Will humans kick fossil fuels and dismantle systems of oppression before the planet burns?
The inaugural Fatal Flaw Flash Fiction Contest (say that five times fast; god, we love alliteration) invites entries of 1,000 words or fewer on the theme that inspired our very creation. Like all literary conventions, the fatal flaw begs to be toyed with, subverted, and reimagined. So send us your interpretations, your experimentations. We can't wait to experience your fatally flawless flash.
All essentail details can be found on the contest page! Please submit your fantastic flash!
